HSBC did not disclose in the applications the interest rates at which its RALs are made (often well over 100% interest), nor the controversies including but not limited to class actions that have followed this line of business, from Household/Beneficial to HSBC.
HSBC's March 29 letter to Inner City Press accompanying its data is nearly identical to Citigroup's, concluding that "had the yield spread between short term and long term interest rates stayed at the 2004 levels, far fewer longer maturity loans would have exceeded the thresholds in 2005.
HSBC knows this; ICP has complained to HSBC (re-requesting that the data be “provided in a single.DAT file, allowing analysis of the entire conglomerate’s patterns at one time”) and, having received no further response (or data) from HSBC, now to the Federal Reserve Board as well.
